...there is no childish frivolity on display as she navigates her newly acquired apartment in a leafy suburb of northwest London. (Her home is a five-minute drive from Willesden Green, where her novel is set and where her mother and two younger brothers reside.) Smith strides past the living room, which is cluttered with half-opened boxes and iconography (a portrait of Billie Holiday, another of Marilyn Monroe and magazines featuring Madonna on the cover--"It's my life's ambition to meet her," she explains).

Now he's back in a similar hardscrabble environment, this time as George, the proprietor of a fish-and-chips shop in a working-class London suburb in the '70s. He long ago married an Englishwoman (Linda Bassett, in a splendidly grounded performance). But he is determined that his numerous progeny embrace tradition--especially when it comes to love. As East Is East opens, one of his sons is bolting an arranged marriage, bringing shame on George...
